Jeb Bush: ‘Mistakes Made’ in Iraq on Brother’s Watch

Wednesday at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, while addressing the 2003 Iraq war during his brother’s administration, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) said, “there were mistakes made in Iraq.”

Bush said, “There were mistakes in Iraq for sure. Using the intelligence capability that everybody embraced about weapons of mass destruction turns out to not be accurate. Not creating an environment of security after the successful taking out of Hussein was a mistake because Iraqis wanted security more than anything else.”
